Thank you!

Suzuki Fabulous

Hello Steve,

The only thing I know about the Suzuki Fabulous is that I gotta try one ;o)

Have you had an opportunity to play one yet?

Fabulous, Manji ,and Suzuki quality

I was impressed by the Manji when I had the chance to try it out at SPAH 2009. The previous year I tried a Fabulous diatonic and liked it, but for the price I was much more impressed with the Manji.

Suzuki keeps introducing high-price models like the Fabulous, then building the same innovations and quality into their mid-priced instruments (they're doing this with chromatics, too, building Fabulous design into the G-48 and Sirius models).

That said, I notice that Suzuki endorser Christelle Berthon initially played the Manji - in fact the Manji is what motivated her to switch her allegiance from Seydel to Suzuki - but her latest Youtube videos are played on a Fabulous.
